This paper introduces a new algorithm, Q2, foroptimizingthe expected output ofamultiinput noisy continuous function. Q2 is designed to need only a few experiments, it avoids stron...

In this paper, we consider approximation algorithms for optimizing a generic multi-variate homogeneous polynomial function, subject to homogeneous quadratic constraints. Such opti...
The convergence of iterative methods used to solve the linear systems arising in incompressible flow problems is sensitive to flow parameters such as the Reynolds number, time s...
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

Decision-theoretic planning is a popular approach to sequential decision making problems, because it treats uncertainty in sensing and acting in a principled way. In single-agent ...
